Synopsis

Knitted gifts are presented here as a year-round tradition in Newfoundland, with patterns shaped by the island’s changing seasons and coastal climate. The collection spans clothing and accessories alongside home pieces, from caps, bonnets, socks and gloves to trigger mitts, hats, cushions and tea cosies.

Alongside the patterns, the authors share the cultural heritage behind these recognisable designs and explain why they are valued on “The Rock”. Vivid photography offers inspiration, while guidance encourages knitters to choose their own colourways for a personal finish; patterns are clearly laid out, rated by difficulty, and supported with tips, tricks and stories. Suitable for knitters looking to make fashion and home styles as gifts.
